Hey-

I got to see a couple of D8T WHA's while I was in Peoria on a factory trip. (Sorry I just couldn't help it )

And at 90% - you can't go wrong.:bouncegri

 

[Tigerotor77W]

I meant Cat employee, but at the same time, it'd be good to hear what others feel. I'll admit I don't like the bitter truth, but I respect it nonetheless and think it'll only make the victim manufacturer's products better.

Hey tiger,whats your opinion on the new cat d6k dozer?It`s look like a good dozer

Do you really think so???...I'm not sure, I'm think a large proportion of the people here have a healthy respect for Cat...but 90%. I think the days of one brand loyalty might be numbered.

And anyways, I think Xing was referring to employees of Caterpillar, not "Cat fans" so to speak.

LOL... McDonalds sell a lot of lunches... Harley Davidson sell a lot of motorcycles... doesn't necessarily mean they are any good

Very true - but I can't make a living with a hamburger or a motorcylce.

Making a living with a Harley.

Hi, CM19195.
I don't know if they are still doing it but some years ago a couple of enterprising 'good ol' biker boys' were making a living with their Harleys by taking pillion passengers on guided tours around Ayers Rock (Known to the Aboriginals as Uluru.) in central Australia.

There was another group doing guided tours of the more historical parts of Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, also with their Harleys, also taking pillion passengers for these tours.

See? Even a d**n 'Hardly Driveable' can have its uses. LOL. (Ducks thrown bottles and spanners and fends off expletives from HD addicts.)

LOL... nice comeback CM1995 but you can certainly make a living manufacturing and selling them

*pouting* Certain things Cat sells are good.

And yeah, Squizz, I was referring to employees (as mentioned in my post a few above yours). I think they're hidden here. If I'm ever considered by Cat for full-time, I'll just say that I work for them. But at the same time... my posting here will probably go way down and my "speculation" thoughts will disappear.

LoL.....wtf happened to this thread ointhead

 

[Deas Plant]

WTF Happened to this thread???????????????

Hi, Rino1494.
Squizzy wuz heah. Does that answer your question. LOL.

Ackshully, I cain't tell a lie. Wulf dunnit this time - - - aided and abetted by CM1995.

LOL.

Wellll - I guess I could put a box blade on the harley and have a hamburger stand on the jobsite. But since I make a living moving dirt there has to be other options.:beatsme

I am not a cat employee - just feel like I should be a major stockholder.LOL

 

[Tigerotor77W]

Sorry, equipment fan, forgot to reply -- I love it. If the numbers Cat's put out are real, the D6K offers a fairly substantial (for me, that means >10%) improvement in productivity over the D5Nin certain tasks.

 

[equipment fan]

:notworthy Tiger,i agree with your commentary on the d6k:iagree

 

[CM1995]

For the record I do own/operate a bunch of yellow scrap iron.

I like the looks of the D6K for finishing slopes, building small pads, stripping topsoil, working on subgrade, etc. I would like to give the D6k a year or so to work out the new machine "bugs" and demo one with accugrade for finishing house/building pads. I really like the idea of a laser system to grade lot pads. Anybody used it on a small/mid size dozer?
